It is going to get a whole lot worse and it is never ever going to get better here, ever, so why stay? It is so much better elsewhere as another posting pointed out with LH and I know Delta is leaps and bounds ahead of EK.
Its not a matter of principle it’s a matter of your health and sanity and with most other airlines paying more and working less hours you would be far better off leaving even if you only have 2-3 years left.
No. Either you are choosing to miss the point or I am not explaining it simply enough to you.
I am not 'stuck' here at all.
But when I compare the financial costs, disruption etc just to go somewhere else for 4-5 years (v 2-3 if I stay at EK) prior to retirement it makes sense to minimise the overall frustrations by staying at EK. That doesn't mean I am happy or unhappy at EK. It simply means that there is minimal overall frustration (or maximum overall satisfaction) by staying here for another 2-3 years.
I can manage the health side of things quite easily. If I am sick or fatigued I don't fly. My 'productivity' can't be great but no call for a chat yet.
I'm not sure I can simplify it any more than that.
